Highlights, thanks to /r/starcitizen #SC-news discord bot:

Notable Information:
➣ "The old character creator could walk so this one could run"
➣ The new character creator takes inspiration from the old creator but is truly a new tool that allows the player to represent themselves in the universe
➣ The new creator is broken into 4 systems
ㅤ✦ DNA System: Blending and shape of the head, most similar to old system. Adds face sculpting which is the big new feature
ㅤ✦ Hair: A much wider array of hairs as well as the addition of facial hair. The ability to tune the colors of your hair expands on the previous color options characters had
ㅤ✦ Features: The ability to adjust skin tone and add makeup
ㅤ✦ Review: The ability to check your entire character
➣ The goal was to have a much more modern and sleep design style, think "Apple Vision Pro"
➣ The DNA center uses real 3D scans of people like before and the DNA pool continues to grow
➣ Rather then scrolling through you actually have a visual library which makes it easier to compare
➣ Save and load functionality is coming with this version of the character creator that allows you to save characters through wipes

Editor looks great - I'll finally be able to play my space sims properly, i.e. spend hours making my character before quitting for the night!

Also huge props for the long awaited ability to save/load our presets.

I don't think it will take long before we see people posting character files for specific characters from movies/actors/celebrities etc.

Will you play as Jason Mamoa today? John Wick? One of the Avengers? Etc.

Oh yeah, that's also a plus but I'm mostly glad I won't have to recreate my char with every big patch. It kind of takes away from it really being yours when you know it won't survive long term.

So true... up until now I just quickly click through the randomize button until something decent shows up.

I wish I could do that. Even though I know my changes won't last I always have to customize at least a little bit, no playing otherwise.
